From the instructor:

Please identify a computer system you have recently had experience with (at home, work,etc.); prepare an attached  PowerPoint presentation (minimum 8 slides) describing a potential computer security problem related to that system. The target audience is a manager who you are trying to convince to investigate the potential security issues.

Suggestions:

• Begin with a description of the organization and the computer system you have chosen.
• Where necessary, you may make assumptions about any specifics please note these as such in your presentation notes.
• Draw from the assigned readings (and your independent research) to identify what topics should be included.
• If you feel that slide information is not self-explanatory, add additional details in the presentation notes.

Also Reply to your classmates:

Reply to posts of your classmates’ posting, providing your thoughts on the security issue that he/she identified. Provide your response as to whether you (as a manager) would approve/disapprove the security project based on the results of the presentation.
